ABOUT ARTWORK
Inspired by the art of Chinese and Japanese calligraphy, combined with Western expressionist style, Tran Hai Minh created a unique approach to calligraphic abstract expressionism.
While adhering to the aesthetic of minimal color usage on a flat plane, characteristic of East Asian calligraphy, Tran Hai Minh's calligraphic abstract expressionism is not constrained by the same principles as the "unified calligraphy and painting" style.
Tran Hai Minh's approach constructs form and composition and conveys messages through suggestive strokes, expressing free emotions. Thus, each viewer's experience can lead to different interpretations. These artworks evoke a sense of timelessness through the use of earthy tones such as brown, gray, black, and soft yellows. The restrained palette amplifies the intensity of the marks, allowing the viewer to feel the weight and rhythm of each stroke, while also inviting a quiet contemplation of the artist's connection to the natural world and Eastern traditions.

Extraordinary Women
Organised into four thematic sections, the exhibition traces the ways women have navigated and reshaped their public and private identities over time. ‘Best Foot Forward’ examines the carefully curated personas and the public-facing images created by women appearing at court or onstage from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. ‘Celebrity’ presents paintings, photographs and fashion commemorating notable Australian women working in music, cinema, literature, sport, chemistry, design and theatre. ‘Independence and Empowerment’ focuses on artists who use their work to reclaim power and autonomy, challenging societal expectations of gender. ‘Embodied Histories’ foregrounds First Nations and culturally diverse artists whose works challenge colonial portrayals of identity.
